Liaozhai Great Sage

Forget it, the person has already left, maybe such a prophecy should not be taken too seriously.

It's just a comfort in my heart, but Li Xiuyuan always feels that these words are a little scary.

Song Dynasty will die?

If this is the case, then who should die?

Chapter 6 Twelve

When officials come to Beijing to report their duties, they must first report to the Ministry of Officials, and then wait for the emperor's summons. After the emperor's summons, you can leave Beijing to take up your post.

Of course this is normal.

If the emperor is lazy, or if there are officials in the court who control the government, then you are not even qualified to meet the emperor, and you will skip this process and leave Beijing directly to take up your post.

However, Li Xiuyuan's situation is a bit special. He came to Beijing this time not only to report on his work, but also escorted many criminal officials, so the situation is a bit more complicated.

"Master Li, since we have arrived in the capital, according to the previous order, I will escort Mr. Fu to the prison, waiting for His Majesty's order, and I hope Mr. Li will allow it." Just after walking out of the ferry, Zuo Qianhu clasped his fists and saluted.

"You can escort the old man directly to the prison. Why do you need to ask for his permission? Just leave now, don't delay any longer." Before Li Xiuyuan could speak, Fu Tianchou said coldly.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan didn't stop him, and said, "Since Zuo Qianhu has official duties, I naturally won't make things difficult for others, but besides Mr. Fu, other criminal officials who surrendered to the city, please trouble Zuo Qianhu once." Escort them together to the Heavenly Prison, after I report this matter to the court, I believe there will be a result soon."

"Yes, my lord." Zuo Qianhu responded, and immediately greeted his subordinates, took the prison van, and escorted the criminals to leave.

"Father, don't worry, Mr. Li is also a person with a bad mouth and kind words. He will definitely not sit back and watch his father stay in the sky prison without asking. My daughter is not filial and cannot accompany my father, Zuo Qianhu, my father always asks you to take care of me after he is in prison, don't let my father be punished and suffer from hunger."

Fu Qingfeng looked at his father Fu Tianchou with some worry and concern, and then pleaded with Zuo Qianhu.

Zuo Qianhu immediately said: "Miss Fu, don't worry, Mr. Fu is just and strict, with a clean sleeve, the court will definitely change Mrs. Fu's innocence, and the things done by the lowly function will definitely not disappoint Ms. Fu and Mr. Li."

"Don't ask him to help. His help is nothing more than buying those corrupt officials with gold and silver, and ruining the court's discipline. If you can gain innocence in this way, I would rather not have it." Fu Tianchou snorted coldly: "There is a way Eat the king's salary, bear the king's worries, I believe that your majesty will give the old minister a clean slate."

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I don't have to worry about it. It's just that the prison is easy to enter, so it's not certain whether Mr. Fu can come out safely."

"The villain has a lot of insidious means, and it can't be settled by Mr. Fu's righteousness..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little bit.

There was a slight whistling sound from one direction, heading straight for Fu Tianchou who was in the prison car.

"Hey~!"

A short arrow flew out from the crowd, trying to take his life.

Li Xiuyuan reacted, stretched out his hand to grab it from the air, and the arrow had already fallen into his palm.

"There are assassins." Zuo Qianhu reacted instantly, he shouted suddenly, and immediately took out his long knife to be vigilant around.

The other soldiers are also ready to face the battle.

"Don't make a fuss, put away your weapons. This is a sleeve arrow, which is highly poisonous. The person who did it was an experienced assassin. If he couldn't make a hit, he must have left along the crowd now. It is impossible to show up again. What about the assassin who came out? He just found a corpse, and if he dares to do something here, he must have thought of a perfect plan."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the short brass arrow in his hand and said slowly, he didn't go after the assassin.

With his means, if he really wants to find it, he must be able to find it easily, but there is no need to mess around now.

Zuo Qianhu immediately said: "It's a low-ranking guard who is not good, and deserves death. Thank you, Mr. Li, for stopping the assassin."

"No, I can't blame you. Maybe the enemy is not only targeting Mr. Fu, but also trying to test me a little bit. If Mr. Fu can successfully assassinate me, he can also assassinate me... This is what these officials in the capital told me. A warning." Li Xiuyuan smiled teasingly and clapped his hands.

The sleeve arrow disappeared: "Soldiers first, salutes later, this is beating me, let me know that no matter how powerful I am, the governor of Yangzhou, I will be a dragon or a tiger in the capital. Otherwise, can I walk out of the capital? It's all a question."

"My lord, you are an official of the imperial court, how dare they?" Zuo Qianhu said in shock.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "The officials of the imperial court are backed by big families, and the royal relatives and relatives are backing them. The power is wrongly connected, and the important positions of the imperial court have been divided up by them. With the merits of calming the chaos, I suddenly won the title of governor of Yangzhou. The son of a businessman, an unknown scholar, is naturally a thorn in the side."

"Above the imperial court, I have no power or power, and my status is considered humble. Even if I die, there will be no disturbances. On the contrary, I will be able to vacate the post of governor. This is a happy thing for everyone."

Before he entered Beijing, Li Linfu had analyzed it. There are only three possibilities for entering Beijing this time. Either he will be killed by a dark and cruel person, or he will stay in the capital to find an opportunity to dismiss him, or he will resign himself.

If you want to return to Yangzhou to take over the administration smoothly, the chance is very small.

However, Li Linfu also said that this is the fate of ordinary scholars entering Beijing. If some extraordinary methods are used, it will be another result.

The extraordinary means he did were nothing more than secretly fighting fiercely.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in the capital, a dismounting came.

"Mr. Li, isn't father very dangerous?" Fu Qingfeng was also taken aback, worried.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It was very dangerous before, but now it is safe. This kind of assassination is not successful. The enemy already knows my ability. If I can prevent the assassination, then I can also assassinate others. With this method, the next People are probably not happy to see them, they are much more afraid of death than I am, and wily people will avoid things like jumping over the wall.”

"Boiling frogs in warm water and cutting meat with blunt knives are what they are good at. It makes you want to resist but can't afford the price of resistance, and you are crushed to death step by step."

"Zuo Qianhu, send Lord Fu to the prison. If something happens to Master Fu, I will definitely investigate the assassin thoroughly and never let anyone go." Li Xiuyuan said coldly.

This is not for Zuo Qianhu, but for the people in the dark.

"Yes, my lord."

Mr. Fu remained silent after this assassination, perhaps in his heart he had already thought of who was going to attack him, so he just kept his mouth shut.

"Go to the official department to file a record, and then find an inn to rest, um, forget it, I remember that the bodyguard company of my Li family has already opened to the capital, go to the bodyguard company and settle down, Han Meng, you take a few people to inquire about our Li family Where is your bodyguard?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master." Han Meng hugged his fist and left with five soldiers.

And just when Li Xiuyuan went to the official department.

Inside an official residence in the capital.

Two old men sat in a secluded garden and played chess, while another old man watched the game without saying a word.

If there were court officials here, they would definitely recognize them. These are the three ministers of the court. Among them, the old man who watched the chess without saying a word was Mr. Yang of Zhongshu Sheng. People of high authority.

"That Li Xiuyuan from Yangzhou has come to the capital, and he arrived today by water."

"Hmph, this young scholar is very slippery after walking along a waterway for more than two months. He has been allowed to govern Yangzhou for more than two months. I am afraid that many officials have already been subdued by him, and many of our people have been taken over by him." He was dismissed for investigation."

"Master Yang, your beloved son was beheaded by this Li Xiuyuan. This man is cruel and he came from a military background, so it's not easy to deal with him. In my opinion, there are only three ways to deal with Li Xiuyuan."

The old man who played chess said with a cold face: "Praise and kill, dismissed from office, kneel down and be a dog."

"That's right. Soldiers first and rituals later won't work. He is a soldier, so he can't close the door and beat the dog, otherwise the dog will kill a few people by jumping over the wall. Mr. Yang, you must not forget that Li Xiuyuan is the one who beat the Nine Mountain King Li Liangjin. Even if Li Liangjin is a waste, the Maitreya Sect entrenched in the south. The White Lotus Sect is an evil demon that cannot be destroyed for hundreds of years. He can destroy it, which shows that he is extraordinary." Another old man said.

"There are tens of thousands of cavalry under your command, and you have seized the soldiers and horses of several commander-in-chiefs. There are [-] infantry soldiers. The complaints of several commander-in-chiefs have been sued to you by Zhongshu Province. You don't understand, Mr. Yang, and I heard that He is still recruiting soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, counting less, he has at least [-] to [-] soldiers and horses under his command, if he can't handle it well, this is another Nine Mountain King."

"No, the King of Nine Mountains is not as good as him. This person may be Wang Mang, Meng De's generation. There is a saying that governing the country is like cooking small fish. Mr. Yang can't be impatient. If something goes wrong, others will overturn the table and not play with you."
